Recently discovered this wild device! It acts as a midi controller by measuring plant energy waves, and how human energy interacts with it, to create music. How neat? There’s a huge learning curve, and I’m just getting started. But I’m exploring how it works one step at a time. I’m working on some really cool creative projects lately, with the goal to create an interactive experience between cameras, nature, and sound. If this is interesting to you too, follow along on my journey! @sunsets.n.chill #plantmusic #plantwave #generativeart #realtime #newmediaart #plantartist #plantwavedevice #plantwaves #energywaves #naturelovers #naturephotography #biotron #playtronica #humanenergy #humanenergyfield #plantenergy #california #sandiego #sandiegoart #californiaart #californiarain

Unlocking a whole new creative way to interact with nature — I turned this plant into an interactive musical instrument!!

People’s March San Diego 2025 🇺🇸 • This weekend, I had the opportunity to document the San Diego People’s March at Waterfront Park. I was thrilled to capture a collective moment of unity, expression, and hope. These photos reflect the power of peaceful demonstration, and coming together to advocate for change. Regardless of the platform photos are shared on, photography has the ability to preserve history and amplify our stories, and I’m honored to share these moments with you. Let’s continue to listen, learn, and support each other. • Quick note: I am working to tag/mention all of the people & organizations featured in the photos. I appreciate your patience, and if you know of any that aren’t tagged yet, please comment them and I’ll add! • #sandiegopeoplesmarch #photographyforchange #visualstorytelling #peoplesmarch #peoplesmarch2025 #sandiego #sandiegoactivism #2025photography #2025 #mlkjr #mlkday #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingjr #inaugurationday

Strength in every shadow. Hope on every horizon. • This image holds a special place in my heart. I took this photo in Malibu during March 2020, when I just started this account. I remember the quiet stillness as the world began to change, and nature felt like a refuge. As someone with a deep love for LA, watching the fires this week has been heartbreaking. It reminds me of the resilience of this city and its people. Sending love and strength to everyone. • 🌎Where to Find Information: Stay updated with trusted resources like @losangelesfiredepartment @lafdfoundation and @watchdutyapp for real-time news. ❤️How to Donate: Help organizations like the California Fire Foundation, @habitatla and @wckitchen that are providing immediate relief. 🤝How to Volunteer: From @mysafela to @redcrossla, there are so many ways to lend a helping hand. 📍Los Angeles, CA Let’s stand strong for the LA community. • #losangeles #lafires #palisadesfire #malibu #pasadenafire #california #wewillrise #lastrong #natureconservation #environmentalawareness
